8 Ball's In The Wind. Musings from my life and a few of the things I have done. 8 Ball In The Wind. Monday, November 24, 2014. Discussing The Reasons For Universal Mandatory Helmet Requirements. You have told me it is for my own safety, and that helmets save lives. While that tends to be the foundation for much of the discussion for motorcycle helmets, do they really? That is a pretty poor effectiveness rating. They just have to make a good faith judgement that it would meet the tests. There is no way to...

8 Ball's In The Wind. Musings from my life and a few of the things I have done. 8 Ball In The Wind. Sunday, December 21, 2014. In late 1990's, it came to light that the Washington State Patrol had been using a pamphlet called "Biker Basic-101". This mindset continued for years, and many believe it still exists in the WSP. The old "the ends justify the minds" mindset. Check it out for yourself, here are a few photos taken from two videos taken during that "Black Thursday". And see what I mean. Sea Piracy ...

8 Ball's In The Wind. Musings from my life and a few of the things I have done. 8 Ball In The Wind. Friday, September 26, 2014. Is It Really "For Your Own Good"? We have all experienced this effect. Ever stepped on the brake and felt yourself move forward? As you can see, wearing a helmet carries with it no real assurance of surviving an impact to the head. The inertial effects of the head and helmet not impacting. Those are just a few things to think about when considering whether you support a riders r...

8 Ball's In The Wind. Musings from my life and a few of the things I have done. 8 Ball In The Wind. Tuesday, February 25, 2014. I've been busy dealing with a screwed up back, the wifes car breaking down, trying to beg borrow or steal a ride to work. But I still found a minute of two to sketch up the basic layout of what I have in mind for Frankenbikes brake system. No hand brake, just the foot brake running both front and rear brakes. Never any rest for the wicked.or something like that. Here is just one...

8 Ball's In The Wind. Musings from my life and a few of the things I have done. 8 Ball In The Wind. Thursday, February 5, 2015. Now Comes The Big Show. Getting a hearing on the lane filtering bill was great, and from the sounds of the support I keep hearing for it spreading, I am hoping for good things with that bill. But it is, and always has been the helmet bill that is the focus of this fight. Catch ya on the road sometime. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama addressed a High School graduating class. In her speech, Mrs Obama told the students that " There's no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny. So the answers to many of our challenges today can't necessarily be found in our laws.". But of course, we should. Mrs Obama continu...

8 Ball's In The Wind: June 2014
http://8ballsinthewind.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
8 Ball's In The Wind. Musings from my life and a few of the things I have done. 8 Ball In The Wind. Sunday, June 29, 2014. WSP "Bogus Helmet Brochure" IS BOGUS! Another problem with this brochure is the WSP's repeated use of the term "approved" in regards to FMVSS-218 compliant helmets. There is no such thing as a "DOT approved" helmet. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does not "approve" helmets. So, basically, when the WSP refers to a "novelty helmet", they mean something like this.

Risk of skull fracture and fatal brain injury than with other types of helmets. However that isnt part of the testing for a DOT helmet. So these helmets that have actually been shown to carry with them a markedly higher rate of fatal skull fractures and brain injuries are perfectly compliant with DOT standards. This is a question of civil liberties&...
